Main Work Screen
From this screen you will be conduct-
ing 90% of your work. To make the

there are only a few keys to learn. The
main work screen has three distinct
parts. The top of the screen holds the
following customer information - name,
company name, address, phone, cus-
tomer number, balance owed, taxable
status and the sales person identifica-
tion. The middle part of the screen
holds the inventory items to be sold,
and basic information about that inven-
tory item - item number, description,
taxability, quantity, Unit of measure,
price and its extension. The bottom of
the screen to the right in red is where
the subtotal, tax and total of the work
sheet items are. The left side is where
you select the menu functions from.
